Sep 20 Adding A Hanging Sleeve to Your Quilt Project

I've made a few quilt projects that were meant to be hung on a wall and I've used squares of fabric folded in half and sewn into the top corners during the binding process, which works if the piece is small, but the centre can buckle if it's too wide. I've also just pinned minis to my wall....

This also works great as a label for your quilts when you want to include more than just your name!

I draw lines using a frixion pen and then write what I want in a permeant marker and press with an iron to remove the lines.

Well, this time I was writing a new quilt pattern and I thought

it was time to up my game

and look into how you go about adding a hanging sleeve....

I found a lot of great information on adding a sleeve for quilt exhibits, which all seamed a little excessive for my small wall project for home use...
